    16 channel is great if you live in a apartment or condos. I have this thing hardwired to my pc and it’s incredible. I’m supposed to get 100mbps and this bad boy gives me up to 130mbps. Awesome!!

    We were looking for a replacement router and were pleased to find a 2-1 device that would replace the modem and router. It's worked great for the past couple of months. Would recommend and purchase again.

    Been using for a year now. This replaced a separate modem and router. Easy set up and takes up less space. Have always purchased Netgear for dependability and this one is no exception.

    Bought this as a way to avoid paying the high fees that are incurred from leasing the router modems from the internet companies. This router is the best and can handle a lot!
